    40'x104'x12' post frame building with 5' frost depth, footing recommendations

    For a garage that big I would definitely have an engineer draw up the building for it. The foundation is the most important part of the building. They usually start at the bottom and design up so that they can figure the load on the building to figure out how big the pads are and what kind of...

    Have had a lot of friends here with dump trailers all week getting free dirt from the mountain in the driveway. The hill is about half gone. Got the rough drawings from the new engineer today. Everything looks good. He said that he should have the stamped drawings to me first thing next week. I...

    More progress. Working on excavation while the new engineer works on the new drawings. We hope to have the drawings by the end of the week or the beginning of next week. We have as much to still dig as has already been done. We are trying to get rid of dirt now to make room for more dirt.

    Nope. It's Poudre. It's kind of a weird name. It means powder in French as in Cache la Poudre. It means "hide the powder". There were a lot of trappers here. It is what the trappers did in the winter. They buried their gun powder during a hard winter along the river banks of the river to keep...

    I used to live just outside of Wellington in the 60s and 70s. Graduated from Poudre, went in the Army. Moved back to the area after I retired.

    Yeah, Planning on it. In this state when there is a court case involving an engineer or an architect that engineer or architect is legally required to self report the court case, an honest summation and the results. I will wait for the case to be decided in court and then check with the State...

    You are right. This isn't the first time that this kind of thing has happened with this architect. My contractor has worked on a few jobs that this guy has done the design for. Every time there has been some kind of problem like this. I agree totally. People screw up. Nobody is perfect. I screw...

    Sorry about that. I should have been more clear. I am talking about steel connections for the beams and columns that make up the support framework to support the second floor. My bad.

    Correct to all. The permit was approved with a caveat that the connections be designed, stamped. The county tried four times to get them to design the connections but they finally asked I would hire another engineer to design the connections like the old engineer was demanding. I was willing to...

    Thanks. It will work out somehow. I really feel good about the new people that I have working with me now. Our county has been great. The guy doing the review has been kinda hung out to dry by the two clowns that I was working with so he's motivated to help out. He has spent hours on the phone...
